LOVELAND -- Both lanes of West Eisenhower Boulevard have reopened as fire crews clean up after a truck caught fire down an embankment Thursday afternoon.

The fire in the flatbed truck, which spread to weeds in the area, was quickly extinguished by the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority. The truck was about 40 feet off the road just east of the entrance to Devil's Backbone Open Space.

Officials closed the westbound lane of traffic on Eisenhower Boulevard near the crash but reopened it around 1:30 p.m.
